It goes without saying, if your brand wants to maximize potential, a successful YouTube channel is required. But how does one go about doing that?...So your brand has finally built a loyal audience- what now?

I love that MKBHD said he stopped using an end card. I think the videos are so much cooler without them. Then Unbox therapy stopped using an intro. Wow just goes to show that once you build a following those intro and outros don't really matter much....

Hi Rob! This is great news. I was lucky to notice the soft launch when I logged in to the app for a project I’m working on and I feel like I hit the jackpot. lol

I knew about the three dots but I'm still unclear of exactly what this means. The option states "Hide These Videos" but I don't actually want to hide all of the videos from that channel just the one video - so the question still remains - will I hide one video or every video.....
